More Stories!

Hey all!  So I talked about most everything in the video but there are a few details I forgot and other stories to share!  So this letter will be a bit quick.

So first thing, I realized after passing dats this morning after making the video that the zone has made a huge leap of progress.  They doubled the number of lessons and new investigators from this last week to this week which is what the zone was doing a little bad in and President told us we needed to improve.  So I'm super proud of them all!  The zone did super great this week and worked super hard.  We combined the two zones today to do a zone activity where we played games and bought 14 pizzas from Papa Johns for the whole zone.  It was a great activity!  We left pretty tired because we spent the whole time coordinating everything but it's all good.

So for the first time in my mission, the majority of our teaching pool is children, so it's definitely been different!  It's been awesome though, and I've really fallen in love with these kids.  Lorena has 3 kids, the oldest being Jesus who we're working with, the next being Yoan (pronounced like Johanne but it's a boy) who's 6 and then Sofia who's probably about four.  Sofia is adorable though, she started out super shy and she didn't say anything but I think she got used to me and now she never stops talking.  I sat with the kids during sacrament meeting while Lorena sat on another bench so I kept Sofia entertained the whole time.  It was a good time.  Yoan is a big ball of energy.  The last time we were there we sat outside and talked and he and his friend put on our helmets and our missionary nametags and we gave them some ''ilumina el mundo'' (light the world) pass along cards just to see what would happen and they went running from house to house saying that they were the elders.  When people answered they held out the cards and asked if they wanted to hear the word of God.  It was probably one of the funniest things I've seen.  Funny enough, people were still saying that they were busy... to 6 year old children.  The funniest though was when they actually got in a house.  Elder Mendez turned to me and told me that they do our job better than we do.  They came out a few minutes later saying ''how lame, they didn't give us anything!!'' because Lorena always gives us food when we go over.  We laughed a good deal at that one.

Hey that was a really quick email but I've been a little slower this week.  More details in the email to come!  I love you all!  I hope you have a great week!

Love
Elder Fox
